Question about testsuite for 4.3.1 on mac for newbie

[Brett Grant]

So this is the first time that I have compiled gcc - ever.  Anyway, I  
compiled on my Intel Mac for ada,c,c++,& fortran and all seemed  
well.  When I ran make -k check it ran for a while and then just  
stopped.  Is there a way to see what happened?  I poked through the  
testsuite directories and it appears that some of them have been  
populated, but I have no idea on how to interpret the results, or  
even to know what files to look for.

The resulting compiler works just fine, so I don't know what is up.

Thanks,
Brett

Hi Brett,

Where did you install the prerequisite tools & packages?
e.g.
/Users/brett/bin
as per...
<http://gcc.gnu.org/install/> Step 1. Prerequisites

What was the location of your source directory?
e.g.
/Users/brett/gcc-4.3.1-src

What was the location of your build directory?
e.g.
/Users/brett/gcc-build

What was your configure line?
e.g.
cd /Users/brett/gcc-build
/Users/brett/gcc-4.3.1-src/configure

What was the output of "make -k check"?  Or did it just stop, without any
output?

Thanks,
--Eljay

There are log files: look for *.log.
